429 - Too Many Requests, is this mean I reach the date request limit?

I just want to confirm how you define one request. For example, if I run ld.get_history(universe="AAPL.O=", interval="1min", start="2025-09-15", end="2025-09-16"), does that count as a single request?

Hi @Siddhanth.V ,

The function you posted is considered as a single request; it could be the call-based limits which exceed and trigger the error. Limits Guideline in detail of Eikon Data API can be found at Documentation | Devportal

And I would recommend you look at the LSEG Data Library for Python | Devportal, which is a strategic API and newer than the Eikon Data API.
